- Developer uses Claude Opus 5.5 to build seven open-source Adobe clones
Brandon Thomas, a former Square engineer, announced on Reddit that ArtCraft has released a suite of seven open-source Rust apps modeled on Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign and Acrobat Pro, with MIT or Apache-2.0 licenses and some WebAssembly browser builds. Thomas said he used Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 to create clean-room replacements, and the apps expose CLI, JSON and MCP interfaces for AI agents. The software is described as a very early alpha: Thomas initially promised 100% feature parity within a month and later said 99% would take months, while testers reported basic bugs and commenters raised legal and safety concerns.
